A factor in the delay of a store-and-forward packet-switching system is how long it takes to store and forward a packet through a switch. If switching time is 10 μsec, is this likely to be a major factor in the response of a client-server system where the client is in New York and the server is in California? Assume the propagation speed in copper and fiber to be 2/3 the speed of light in vacuum.
存储转发分组交换系统延迟的一个因素是通过交换机存储和转发分组所需的时间。如果切换时间是10µs,这可能是客户端在纽约而服务器在加利福尼亚的客户机-服务器系统响应的主要因素吗?假设在铜和光纤中的传播速度是光在真空中传播速度的2/3。
纽约到加利福尼亚的距离超过 2000 公里,远大于 2000 米,因此交换机的处理时间对于响 应时间影响不大,可以忽略
